402: Get out of the way! My brother wants to go home!
“Is this person sick?”
On the streets of Hongwu City, people came and went.
People cast surprised glances at the two tattered “beggars.”
They were completely unaware that these were the current Sage and the former Sage of the Shenzhou Empire.
“Brother Qin, I’ve brought you so much trouble.”
Like Qin Chuan, Han Chen also knelt, and the two embraced, weeping.
They finally returned home, only to find the world vastly different.
The original Jiuzhou Federation no longer existed.
That was the third largest country in the world!
It was fine when they left, but upon returning, the dynasty had changed!
Thinking of this, Han Chen guessed.
The wheels of history had already rolled over a long time ago.
The current Shenzhou Empire was at least an era apart from the former Jiuzhou Federation.
After all, the Jiuzhou Federation had eight massive Families.
How could it be unified into an Empire without annihilating them?
And to eliminate the Eight Great Families, wouldn't it take at least a hundred years of civil war?
Perhaps even more!
When he left Jiuzhou, there was no power in the world capable of contending with the Eight Great Families, including the official government led by the Five Sages.
“Brother Qin, this is your hometown. Why don’t you go back and see it first?”
Han Chen wiped away his tears, feeling very sorry for Qin Chuan.
He was alone, with no ties or burdens.
It made no difference which era he Transmigrated to.
But Qin Chuan had a wife, a son, and brothers.
If they were separated by a hundred years by the river of time, that would truly be a tragedy.
His younger brother was of the Elite Rank, with a lifespan of no more than 120 years.
He might be on his deathbed now, or even already dead.
His son was of the Grandmaster Tier, so he could live for about 160 years.
However, if he saw him now, he might already be old with white hair.
As for his wife, who was of the Monarch Tier, she could live for about 400 years.
He was just afraid she might have remarried.
“Yes, I’ll go home and see first. It’s something I have to face.”
Qin Chuan wiped away his tears and nodded resolutely.
He stood up, confirmed his direction, and transformed into a bolt of lightning, flying towards his home.
Han Chen also turned into an afterimage, quickly following.
Seeing this scene, the passersby were stunned.
“Holy cow, these two beggars aren’t ordinary people!”
“Yeah, to fly so fast, they must be at least Grandmaster Tier!”
“More than Grandmaster Tier. A Grandmaster isn’t fast enough to leave an afterimage.”
Just then, someone noticed something!
“Wait! This lightning, this Move… it looks like Flying Thunder Feather!?”
“Flying Thunder Feather!? Isn’t that the Dragon Pavilion Guild Leader, Qin Chuan!!!”
“Qin Chuan isn’t the Guild Leader now, he’s a Sage!”
A bolt of lightning and an afterimage streaked across the sky above Hongwu City.
As they passed through the city center, half of Qin Chuan’s suspended heart died.
He saw that the building where the original Dragon Pavilion Guild was located no longer had the sign with the words “Dragon Pavilion.”
“Are the family’s industries all gone?”
Qin Chuan thought sadly.
His son’s personality was somewhat lazy, not suitable for managing the family.
But as long as his younger brother Qin Feng was alive, he could assist him in protecting the family property.
Now that the Dragon Pavilion Guild was gone, it meant the property wasn’t protected.
It also meant that his younger brother was no longer in the world.
“Xiao Feng, your brother is sorry!”
Qin Chuan cried in his heart, continuing to fly forward.
Soon, he saw the Qin Family residence.
It had the same layout, the same architecture, the same courtyard.
Only… there were many more people inside.
Outside the Qin Family residence, there was also a long line.
“What are they doing?”
“Why are they all in my house???”
Qin Chuan was stunned.
With the posture of thunder, he struck down at the entrance of the Qin Family residence.
The sudden display of power scared the tourists lining up to buy tickets, causing them to scatter and flee, creating a commotion.
Several guards immediately rushed out and surrounded Qin Chuan.
Looking at their equipment, they were at least of Grandmaster Tier, with considerable strength.
The leading guard held a long spear, pointed it at Qin Chuan, and sternly asked: “Who are you!? How dare you cause trouble here? Do you know what kind of place this is?”
“Of course I know!”
“This is my home!”
Seeing that the “Qin Family residence” signboard was still there, Qin Chuan was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
The old house was still there, the plaque was still there, proving that the Qin Family had not died out!
He just didn’t know why so many people were gathered in his home.
However, the guard didn’t understand Qin Chuan and sternly reminded him: “Are you crazy!? How dare you say such a thing? Offending the Emperor’s majesty is a capital crime!”
Immediately, he said to two of his subordinates: “Quickly take him away, we can’t have such jokes here!”
Saying that, the two guards were about to step forward and act against Qin Chuan.
“Presumptuous!”
Just then, Han Chen arrived a step late.
The Monarch’s Aura instantly spread, stirring up monstrous waves of Qi.
For a moment, the weather changed, and thunder rumbled.
“Peak Monarch Tier!?”
The two guards immediately recognized Han Chen’s strength and took a step back with wary expressions.
Han Chen walked in front of Qin Chuan and said: “I don’t care about the Emperor’s majesty. I only know that my brother is going home!”
The guard captain’s eyes were grave as he asked: “May I ask Senior’s name?”
Han Chen slightly raised his head and said: “One of the Five Sages of the former Jiuzhou Federation, Han Chen!”
“Han Chen!?”
Hearing this name, the guard was so scared he almost dropped his spear.
If an ordinary beggar had said such a thing, the guard might have stabbed him to death with a spear.
But the guard couldn’t help but believe him.
The beggar in front of him indeed possessed the strength of the Monarch Tier!
One might ask, which Peak Monarch would be so full of leisure as to impersonate someone else?
The guard captain put away his long spear and began to treat the person in front of him seriously.
At this moment, a crowd of onlookers also gathered, taking pictures of Han Chen with their phones.
Han Chen, as a Sage, had never received such treatment. He snorted coldly: “Are you all tired of living? You dare to watch the excitement of a Monarch Tier!?”
Saying that, he released his Aura again, immediately stirring up a small tornado that caused sand and stones to fly at the entrance of the Qin Family residence.
This scene was like a natural disaster, startling the onlookers into fleeing in panic.
Most people had witnessed the strength of a Monarch Tier for the first time.
The guard captain also found it somewhat difficult to bear. He held his long spear and cupped his hands, saying: “Sage Han, please retract your Divine Ability! Even you cannot act recklessly here!”
“In this era, someone still remembers me.”
Han Chen was stunned and retracted his pressure. Just as he was about to ask the guard about the current situation, a voice came.
“What happened? How dare someone cause trouble here?”
Upon seeing the newcomer, the guard immediately bowed and saluted: “Curator Chen, there’s a situation.”
Han Chen glanced sideways and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man walking towards them.
His noble Aura was well-maintained, but his Rank was a bit low, only of the Elite Rank.
At this moment, he heard Qin Chuan from the side shout: “Chen Si! You… you’re still alive! You… haven’t aged?”
Han Chen was stunned.
This is… Brother Qin’s family?
Eh?
Yes?
How come he hasn’t aged?
The scene fell silent.
Then, the person named Chen Si looked at Qin Chuan in a daze.
In his eyes, expressions of confusion, surprise, and excitement appeared in succession.
Before Han Chen could figure out what was going on.
He saw that “Curator Chen” dropped to his knees with a thud.
And shouted to Qin Chuan: “Patriarch! How did you end up like this???”
